Bajaj Allianz Health Ensure

Objective

An online health insurance policy which is aimed at including low segment individuals under the umbrella of insurance. The objective of this policy is to indemnify against expenses during hospitalisation caused due to illness or an accident.

Our View

This policy is specially meant for low income segment. It is low on premium and offers a stingy coverage. Though it may not be sufficient to cover all hospitalisation expenses, it can share a part of the losses.
In view of rising medical expenses now a days, everyone must have at least a basic health insurance policy plus a cover for chronic diseases. The cover can be stretched to include out patient treatments and other day to day expenses at time of hospitalisation. There are far more comprehensive policies available in the market which provide a broad and better immunity to medical costs. This policy is thus not recommended for those who can afford a better one as the cover may not suffice. Moreover, each expense is capped to sum insured which is another limitation.

Suited for

This is a low cost, low benefits policy suited for a low-income individual who wish to mitigate some part of, if not whole, medical expenses at a time of health urgency.

What does it do?

This policy sticks to providing a very basic cover against inpatient hospitalisation. Like any traditional health policy it covers all general expenses incurred during admission to hospital. Emergency ambulance to transfer patient from home or accidental site to hospital and back from hospital to home is also provided. Apart from inpatient treatment, it covers specific 130 such procedures not requiring a 24-hour hospitalisation due to technological upgradation. A free health check up can be availed at the end of four continuous claim-free years.
